Nobody really watched doubles anymore ergo nobody cares.

Yeah, but this top-heavy approach has brought down more aspiring contenders before. Kiner-Falefa looked okay in Texas but that's the thing with players looking good on terrible teams (as Rangers were then). They usually look below average on better teams. At least you didn't sign Daniel Vogelbach But yeah, 39-year old Justin Turner makes no sense whatsoever.

Overall teams that have sucked in the last several years have turned it around somewhat fast (Rangers, Orioles and DBacks) and Blue Jays might have a copy of the Mets situation where Alonso/Lindor combo just doesn't win enough games save for that one season. Hell, I kinda expect Alonso will be traded if Mets are few games below .500 at the All-Star break.

Guess Guerrero and Bichette will ride on their reputation for a while yet while in reality they're not the difference makers? I mean Orioles turned it around to become the new talk of the town and Rays will keep doing what they're doing while the media ignores them as usual.

And that is exactly what Israel wanted so it was probably an attack on purpose to scare off all the aid organizations. There were three cars travelling and three drone strikes each happened after occupants moved to the remaining cars after there was nobody alive in the end.

First no-hitter of the season. Ronel Blanco of the Astros blanks the Blue Jays in 10-0 rout.

Long-time NPB pitcher Shota Imanaga made his MLB debut for the Cubs and gave up only 2 hits in 6 IP vs Rockies.

Cubs won 5-0 also thanks to one Colorado guy making two errors on one play

Easter Monday in Polish Ekstraklasa. Even sofascore got crazy and counted this as own goal

Scottish football, aye!

Governor of New York kicked out of a wake for a shot NYPD police officer.

There's a good chance Trout will hit IL even before the All-Star break for a change!  Gonna be a very bleak season in Anaheim.

Opening Day is underway. To nobody's surprise Angels are getting pantsed by the Orioles

Kansas City Chiefs have signed Louis Rees-Zammit but let's see if he makes the 53 squad for the season (still five months away). I presume he would be useful in kick/punt returns but he has to avoid muffs or else he will be gone quickly (as was Jarryd Hayne during his 49ers adventure in 2015).

@MakedonasThis is like a dead cat bounce for Poland anyway. Szczęsny said he will retire from NT after Euro 2024 and everyone expected Lewandowski would follow if he failed to qualify. This basically means those plans are postponed by three months. I don't expect we can do anything at the Euros except park the bus and hope for a miracle draw vs Austria or maybe Holland we've played frequently in recent times.

beat in PSO after a goalless draw. It's truly laughable how easy it is to qualify for the Euros these days and how badly we have played in the last 12 months

beats in PSO to make the Euro Finals.

Miami R4 will also see the first meeting between two richest heiresses on tour - Jessica Pegula and Emma Navarro

Goalless draw between and in the second friendly. So San Marino's winless streak will extend over 20 years.

Would be cool if and qualified from Group B

I'm impressed a Czech site uses a footage from Polish TV

ISIS takes responsibility for like every terrotist attack anyway. Nobody takes that seriously anymore.

USA warned of a terrorist attack few days ago so obviously their spying satellites have picked up something. Ever since FSB blew up the aparment blocs in 1999 to justify the Second Chechen War we know these terrorist attacks in Russia are probably an inside provocation.

Peter Prevc with a proper send off in his last weekend before retirement!

@Quaker2001Because sport gambling was illegal in USA for so long I guess people there still have a hard time accepting the fact gambling is a popular addiction in general and Pete Rose wasn't the great outlier after all. On the contrary, sports gambling is massively popular across the world though from a cultural standpoint I don't know how popular it actually is in Japan. It wanders the other ways too, horse race betting is probably more popular in USA than any other country but of course that comes as a spin-off to the original sports gambling ban. Plus we still don't know what sports this case revolves around unless someone leaks the details.

Well, it didn't take long for off the field stuff to take over. Ohtani's interpreter was fired due to 4.5 million gambling funds being transferred from Ohtani's account.

What are the odds Ohtani himself was the gambler and the interpreter simply took the fall or else we'd have another Pete Rose case here? That's more plausible than Mizuhara actually stealing 4.5 milion and nobody actually taking notice of that (no matter how big Ohtani's account number really is and I guess he has several anyway).

I assume there won't be any serious investigation after the guilty party was found out already?
